Zhu Wei had a cheerful smile on his face. If he followed him out to hang out, no matter who he was, he would make money.
What makes Zhu Wei even more happy is that with the dozens of people behind him, he is finally no longer a bare-bones general. He is so conceited that it would be embarrassing to let these people die, but if he asks them to kill people, he will never go east. West.
As for the thorns under Zhu Wei's hands, he had picked them out a long time ago. In this short period of time, Lu Tong was almost crushed by him and had no way out.
Especially after the Qian family held a banquet and invited Prince Yan, things suddenly became different. Lu Tong did not dare to go against Zhu Wei anymore. Just kidding, even his masters, the Li family, were now trying every means to persuade Qian. Show goodwill to the family.
And now Zhu Wei is also very happy for his decision to hook up with the Qian family. Now that the Qian family hooks up with the King of Yan, doesn't that mean that he is also from the King of Yan's lineage.
Originally, Zhu Wei was also thinking about how to climb up. Unexpectedly, now he has a pie in the sky. He already has a way out. Now it depends on how he can develop himself.
Zhu Wei doesn't care what the differences between King Zhao and King Yan are. If you have breasts, you are a mother. If you are wealthy from a side family, that is also rich. It is better than being a barefoot and doing nothing.
Zhu Wei had heard some gossip. As long as he did things well and made meritorious deeds, he might be able to become a minister of Conglong. His little trick could be regarded as smoke rising from his ancestral grave. When the time comes, his enemy , it’s not up to him to do whatever he wants.
Zhao Lei looked at these laughing cavalrymen. It was these people who caused him to have troubles on his way into the city, and it was they who made him rich.
Sometimes things are really hard to tell, otherwise it might have ended differently now. Zhao Lei is still trying to make ends meet with the black-haired bear, and then practices hard, struggling to break through in qi training.
Zhao Lei didn't intend to specifically retaliate against them. If they could survive this turmoil, they would be lucky.
In the invisible state, Zhao Lei didn't have to worry about others. He followed the captured refugees to the side door, and then jumped over the wall without going through the door.
After turning over, Zhao Lei realized that this place was completely different from anywhere else. It was too simple and ugly, just like a shed where horses were kept. Many people were imprisoned here, with shackles and ropes around their necks, hands and legs. They were restrained and tied to a pillar, as if the people inside were not humans but animals.
After this group of people entered, it was packed inside. It seemed that there were enough people, and the people in the bars were pulled out. At this time, many servants came out of the manor one after another.
The captured refugees, separated by men and women, took off their clothes in batches and stood in front of the servants, letting them start cleaning them with rags and water.
After one batch was washed, the next batch came, and the people who washed the clothes did not distribute clothes and entered the two rooms on the left and right naked.
Naturally, there were people waiting in the room. Men entered on the left, women entered on the right, but the children did not move for the time being. They were all staying in the pen where they were driven.
There are various heads in the room, and they choose the ones they like among these men and women.
Strong men were naturally taken as slaves, and those with better luck were assigned to be members of a large family. Their lives were somewhat guaranteed and they could make ends meet.
I was almost lucky enough to be assigned to the mine. After I finished working today, there was no tomorrow. The environment was so bad that I almost died.
These big families will not guarantee the safety of these slaves. They all put production first. Water leaks and landslides often occur in the mines. Once a mining disaster occurs, at least dozens of people will die.
Even if you are lucky and don't encounter a mining accident, you will still get sick due to the long-term heavy physical strength, hunger, and dust in the air, which will overdraw your energy and spread all over your body.
He can only live for four or five years at most, then his body will be exhausted, his lamp will run out of oil and he will die.
Although women were said to have no life-threatening danger, their lives were worse than death. Those with good looks were sold to brothels for the flesh trade, while those without good looks were sold to old bachelors or sold to wealthy families as low-level maids.
But at this time, Zhao Lei had no time to lament their tragic fate. It was good to survive in this troubled world. Even if they were not captured by the Zhao family, they might die on the road or in Pingyang City.
Pingyang City is only so big and can support a lot of people. When there are too many outsiders, the locals will naturally exclude outsiders from coming in. The government will also keep these people away and will not let them destroy the only balance.
The refugees outside the city are not as important as the stability of the city. It is one thing that the disaster relief is not good. Anyway, there are many such things in the land of Zhao State, but the responsibility for losing the land is to be beheaded.
But Zhao Lei now plans to give them a way to survive.
It can be seen from its tall city walls and closely guarded servants that this manor was left by the Qian family as a retreat.
Since it is reserved as a retreat, there will definitely be no shortage of food and weapons there. As long as these people dare to resist, occupy this place, and loot the food and weapons, they may be able to find a way to survive in these troubled times.
Whether they use weapons to turn into bandits, or use food to survive elsewhere, they will have more choices than now.
And Zhao Lei came here this time to create opportunities for them.
After seeing what was going on here, Zhao Lei walked out of the yard and went to the woodshed behind where firewood was stored.
Fire and water have no mercy. Nothing can cause more chaos than setting a fire. Fire is a big deal for any family.
When Zhao Lei passed by the kitchen, he took out several oil cans from it. Then he didn't waste time, poured the oil directly into the firewood, and then lit it.
Because Zhao Lei poured oil on it, the fire started very quickly, and thick smoke rose from the flames, as if to remind everyone that there was a fire here.
Zhao Lei did not stay here to watch the fun. He took out a few igniting firewood from the fire and left. Whenever he passed those rooms, he would throw a firewood into them.
Sometimes there were people inside. After Zhao Lei threw the firewood in, it only caused exclamations and screams, but it didn't catch fire.
But those rooms that are empty are different. Whenever they are lit, Zhao Lei will use magic power to fuel the fire. The fire is not as strong as usual.
Houses were ignited in this way, and the fire was naturally discovered by others in the process. At this time, servants were everywhere shouting and running.
"The water is leaking, put out the fire quickly!"
"Help! Xiaochun is still inside!"
"Fire!"
"ah!"
Some people were carrying various fire-extinguishing tools, and some were carrying buckets filled with water, but there were still a small number of people who were just running around in a panic, and the scene was chaotic.
